How to avoid overstay fines in the UAE?

To avoid overstay fines in the UAE, always ensure your visa is renewed before the expiration date. As someone who has lived here for years, I recommend setting reminders on your phone a month before your visa expires, as fines can reach AED 200 per day after the grace period. Familiarize yourself with the local rules through the GDRFA to stay on top of your visa status.
